What's New

Continued get well wishes to

Leland Carmichael.

A big thank you to Alberta Block who donated a 

Gazelle exercise machine to the weight room.

The Sundowners FCE was organized in January 1964 and will

be recognized for their 50 years of service and education at this

Friday night's banquet at the state conference in Gretna. Also

honored will be the 3 charter members who are still in the club:

Jean Lucas, Norma Jean Boettcher, and Peggy Leefers, all of

Unadilla. (These clubs were formerly known as extention clubs.)

Sundowners volunteered to make table centerpieces complying

with the "Denim Daze" theme. I was lucky enough to see the

centerpieces and loved them. What ingenuity and creativity

these women possess! Congratulations from the community.

The Books & Brew Book Club met Tuesday morning,

9-15 at the Community Library with 5 members present.

All members read a book written by John Sandford and

all gave good reviews. We also read a second book,

"Once Upon A Day" by Lisa Tucker. It also received

good reviews. Next months meeting will be Monday,

October 19, and the author of choice is Nora Roberts.

Please join us if you can!

NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO

Friday, 9-17-1915, The Otoe Union:

"THE TINKER TOY. The newest novelty for boys. Call

and see it. Price: 50 cents. Lincoln Pharmacy." A son was

born to Fred French. John Alexander, Thomas Lucas, and

Carson Davis went to Kit Carson County, Colorado, to

inspect the crops and land for sale.

"Government's view of the economy could be

summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves,

tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it 

stops moving, subsidize it!"

- Ronald Reagan
